I’d been wondering how he ramped up production from one board a day to 65 — most of them stand-up-paddle boards.<BR/><BR/>I have it from an insider that DP’s been so prolific of late that Surfer magazine is coming out with a second Big Issue 2006 to accommodate all of his prose. It’s set to be 4,000 pages.

While repairing a ding that I never told you about, I discovered the cause of the significant extra weight the board was carrying (which I also never told you about). Someone — the glasser? — had cut a 4-by-4-inch chamber into the blank and crammed about 3 kilos of “Bolivian marching powder” in there. Must have forgotten to unload it. I’m sitting on a pile here.

Beautiful thing. You'll have a stunning board for sure.
